Cherry Belle Radish is one of the earliest radishes to mature in spring. The round, smooth, scarlet 1" roots have crisp, tender flesh that are perfect for fresh eating all season. Their attractive bright red color make them a desirable addition to the garden.
Radish seeds can be planted outdoors.
Sow directly in the garden 2-3 weeks before the last frost date.
Plant seeds 1/4" deep and 2" apart and rows can be 6" wide. They should come up in 5-7 days depending on soil and weather conditions. Sow in early spring for an early crop, and again every 3 weeks for an extended radish harvest.
They grow best in average, well-drained soil, and full sun. For mild radishes, mulch and keep watered to speed growth.
